Berlin is immense, significant and beautiful.

There is so much to observe and to do here. You should spend your valuable time wisely. Choose one of informative Berlin tours with an expert guide, who wants nothing more, but to make sure that you have been touched by the power of Germany's capital city.


You will walk through Berlin's complex, sometimes the tragic past and its exciting, dynamic present. You will be introduced to the famous (and infamous) personalities, who left their mark on the city and shown the main sights in Berlin's historic heart ? the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie, the remains of the Berlin Wall and a lot more.


Stroll into the history of the Teutonic Knights and Prussian Kings through the Royal Hunting Grounds. Then, stand before the Victory Column, which marks the birth of the German nation and Europe, as we know it today ? the unbridled Prussian military arrogance at its best. Follow the route of the Soviet attack up to the final battleground of the Reichstag Parliament, crowned with Norman Foster's glass dome, and futuristically charged Government Quarter.


Pass over the line of the Death Strip, under the Brandenburg Gate, by the Holocaust Memorial and Hitler's Bunker. Imagine momentous events, which led to the fall of the Wall, while standing amongst the heart of the East German Government Quarter and New Berlin. Cruise through delightful parks to a great beer garden along the river. This is a great time to have a snack and a beer, as well as to plug your guide for inside information and experience Berlin as the locals do. Certainly, all the while you will take fantastic photos and mingle with the other travelers.
